Coverage Goal

Definition​

A Coverage Goal defines which microflows should at least be executed, when a specific collection of tests is executed. Microflows that are included in the goal, will count towards the coverage percentage in the Coverage Calculation.

To define the microflows usage in Coverage Calculation, a Coverage Goal can have one or more Exclude Filters. Microflows in the Mendix System module are always excluded from coverage calculation.

A Coverage Goal can be defined on a Test Configuration, or on an Application. When defining on a Test Configuration, create the specific collection of tests, by including Test Suites. When defining on an Application, create the specific collection of tests, by including Test Configurations.

Properties​

NameDescription
NameThe name of the coverage goal.
Exclude FiltersThe Exclude Filters that determine the Coverage Goal.
Test SuitesDefines which Test Suites are included when calculating the Coverage Goal
(only applicable for a Coverage Goal on a Test Configuration)
Test ConfigurationsDefines which Test Configurations are included when calculating the Coverage Goal

Business rules​

  • On a Coverage Goal that is defined on an Application, it is only possible to determine which microflows will be included based on the Exclude Filters, if at least 1 Test Configuration is included.
  • If no Test Configurations are included on a Coverage Goal that is defined on an Application, the Exclude Filters cannot be changed.
  • Not including any Test Suites or Test Configurations on a Coverage Goal, will always lead to a 0 % coverage percentage.
  • Defining Exclude Filters leading to 0 microflows being included in the Coverage Goal, will always lead to a 0 % coverage percentage.
